SLEEVE HOLD-ER.

Specification of Letters Patent. Pafjented Aug, 8, 1922,

Application filed April 18, 1922. Serial No. 555,446.

To (ZZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SEIKICHI ABE, a subject of the Emperor of Japan, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Sleeve Holders, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to sleeve holders and is an improvement in the type of sleeve holder disclosed in my Patent 1,399,730

'dated December 13, 1921.

An object of the invention is to provide an extremely simple and inexpensive form of device that may be readily applied to a tucked up sleeve for the purpose of shortening the sleeve as of a shirt, when desired.

An object is to provide a sleeve holder consisting of substantially two principal elements, each of which are of highly simple form making it possible to produce the sleeve holder at a very low cost.

in embodiment of the invention is described in the following specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. l is a view showing how the device is utilized in the shortening of sleeves of a shirt.

Fig. 2 is an axial section of the device applied.

Fig. 3 is an end view of the ring member.

Fig. i is a side or face view of the ring member.

Fig. 5 is an end view of the bushing.

Fig. 6 is a side elevation of the bushing.

Fig. 7 is a section on line 77 of Fig. 6 but showing a slightly modified form of the bushing.

The sleeve holder of my present invention consists of two telescopic members of any suitable material, such, for instance, as aluminum, preferably because of its lightness. The outer member is in the form of a ring 2, the bore or chamber of which is, preferably, eccentric as indicated at 3, Fig. 3. Through the thicker side of the ring there is passed radially a clamp screw 4.

There is adapted to be slipped within the ring 2 a core forming element 6 which, in Figs. 5 and 6, is shown as of cylindrical form, the exterior diameter being considerably less than the diameter of the bore 3 of the ring, though the parts are substantially of equal length. Between its ends the periphery of the core 6 is shown as circumferentially grooved as at 7.

In the application of the improved sleeve holder the sleeve S of a shirt is tucked up as at T a sufficient distance to retract the cuffs of the sleeves as may be desired. Then the upper end of the overhanging fold or tuck T is puckered up so as to be pressed into the bore 3 of the ring 2, as clearly shown in Fig. 2. Then the core member 6 is slipped in underneath the tuck T and into the puckered portion in the ring 2 until the parts register endwise. Then the clamping screw t is turned in so as to depress the fabric into the peripheral groove 7 of the core and this effectually holds the parts, assembled and prevents the folded sleeve portion from pulling out.

A slightly modified form of the core member is shown in Fig. 7 in which the core 6' is solid.

Various modifications and changes may be resorted to within the spirit of the invention as claimed.

lVhat is claimed is:

1. A sleeve holder consisting of two members adapted to be telescoped one within the other and roviding a space in which may be clamped a portion of a tucked sleeve, and a clamping device adjustable to lock the fabric in place between the telescoped members.

2. A sleeve holder consisting of two members adapted to be telescoped one within the other and providing a space in which may be clamped a portion of a tucked sleeve, and a clamping device adjustable to lock the fabric in place between the telescoped members, said device consisting of a screw turnable through the outer member.

3. A sleeve holder consisting of two members adapted to be telescoped one within the other and providing a space in which may be clamped a portion of a tucked sleeve, and a clamping device adjustable to lock the fabric in place between the telescoped members, the bore of the outer member being eccentric to provide a thickened portion for the shank of the clamping device.

4. A sleeve holder consisting of two members adapted to be telescoped one within the other and providing a space in which may member having a thickened side portion which is radially threaded, a clamp screw adjustable in the threaded portion, and a core member loosely fitting in the ring and adapted to press a portion of a sleeve into the ring member; said screw being adjustable to clamp the inserted fabric against the core.

a. In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.

SEIKICHI ABE.
